Original Title: 임상진료지침 개발 현황 및 확산 전략
Authors' recommendations: Among the 262 original guidelines collected from the electronic literature data search and the manual search, 161 clinical practice guidelines were included in this study based on inclusion/exclusion standards. Clinical practice guidelines have developed rapidly over the past five years in Korea, which show that guidelines have been developing more actively. In the results of the AGREE II and TAAD clinical practice guidelines, the general quality of the current guidelines had increased compared to the scores of the guidelines before 2009. The applicability score increased from 6.0% to 14.6%, but this was significantly lower than the increases in other areas. We conducted online survey and professional advisory conference to understand dissemination and implementation status of clinical practice guidelines in Korea. The activities for disseminating clinical practice guidelines included education, approval, and publications activities. However, not enough interest or action was directed toward implementing clinical practice guidelines as compared with the interest in developing and disseminating guidelines. Since it is difficult to determine causes and specific barriers in the process of examining the general status, research must be conducted to understand the barriers for each guideline and develop monitoring indicators. It is crucially important to understand the barriers and establish strategy through collaborative research with the Korean Academy of Medical Society and clinical academic associations.
